A Fifth Year for Teacher Training at the UIB: Luxury or Necessity for Mallorca?

Answer

Would a fifth year of teacher training improve schools in Mallorca?

It could improve classroom preparation if the extra year is used for real practice, strong supervision and training in areas schools need, such as inclusion and digital skills. But on Mallorca, the effect would depend on funding, mentor support and whether the reform is tied to the island’s school realities rather than only to university plans.
